Imagine being abandoned on a remote island with nothing but your wits to survive. For Marguerite, this nightmare becomes reality when her guardian, Jean-Francois de la Rocque de Roberval, maroons her on a desolate isle in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. Her crime? Falling in love with Auguste Dupre, Roberval's secretary. This act of cruelty transforms a sheltered noblewoman into a survivor against impossible odds. Left with only Auguste and her nurse Damienne, Marguerite must create life from nothing on this harsh outcrop of rock and thin soil. The trio establishes a fragile existence-Auguste hunts birds and collects eggs, Damienne prepares meals, and Marguerite attempts to grow a garden despite the unforgiving terrain. "The garden will be mine, and I shall tend it," she insists, watching with joy as green shoots appear, only to wither in the July heat. Their island has moments of unexpected beauty: waves of liquid silver, mist clinging like white clouds, seabirds plunging headfirst into the sea with perfect faith. They debate names for their new home-Isle of Little Trees, Isle of Birds, Isle of Changes-settling into a rhythm of survival as summer wanes and autumn approaches.
